LIFE
living
existence
one day at a time
for the rest of your time
trying to be at one's best
'because the alternative sucks'
CHANCE
fortune
in fate's hand
opportunity
it's not in your control
what turns the wheel, guides the die
'life, the moment your eyes open'
DEATH
finite
infinite
it is what it is
for as long as we're here
It's not as long as we're gone
'it is the great equalizer'
PAIN
anguish
agony
in body or soul
and oftentimes in both
you bear the unbearable
'it's what lets you know you're alive'
FAITH
belief
conviction
the ultimate trust
is the substance of hope
evidence of things not seen
'all that I have left in me now'
